Foie gras is delicious. I was grossed out before I tried it, but absolutely love it now.

I just don't know what kind of country we live in where any kid, no matter how old, can walk up to any one of throusands of stores in New York alone, and buy the exact same types of beverages that we sell to our military forces -- and in the same, high-capacity capacity cups! No waiting period to think about whether this is good for them, no ID check, no questions about obesity or diabetes, the kids just hand their money over and these merchants of death happily give them what they want, in any capacity they want. No questions asked. What they're doing to our children is unconscionable. You never see hunters carrying huge, over-sized Big Gulp cups, do you? That's because nobody needs more than 16 ounces of soda, and if they do, then they can just buy two. And a benefit there is the added time and effort in refilling the smaller cup will make them drink soda slower, and therefore kill themselves slower.

We're killing our children by the thousands in this country, every day, and I salute Mayor Bloomberg for finally standing up against Big Soda, as well as the American Beverage Association and their big-money lobbists, and doing something about this rampant problem.

We dont need sugar control, we need better fatty control.

We need to just enforce the fatty control laws already on the books.

Fatties dont obey diets, so there's no point forcing them to diet. Unless we can force them to not be fat, there's no point restricting their access to sugar.

It is amazing with toasted brioche and a touch of maple syrup.

Toasted brioche, cherry gelee and caramelized Bing and Rainier Cherries. That was the first time I had foie gras. Mr. Unsympathetic and I bought our car from the owner of a fancy pants restaurant in Woodinville, WA and she threw in dinner with the car. Duck fat focaccia is another mind altering food I had never tried before that night. Plus runny egg on pasta.

The production method.

You are viewing it from the humans point of view. Ducks/geese/pelicans/etc do not have a gag reflex. Watch a water foul eat a fish...it goes down whole.

If you are referencing an old video on youtube where the ducks feet are nailed to the ground and are abused, then your opinion is skewed...that was filmed in like Eastern Europe back in the 80's/90's IIRC.

Then again, one could be equally disgusted in modern CAFO beef production...

So, about sugary drinks, does that mean that restaurants can't put sugar packs on tables for those who drink coffee and like to add a bit of sugar? Or is it that restaurants can't add too much sugar, but customers are free to add as much as they wish? I honestly haven't heard of this one until now and I am a bit confused by it. If restaurants can't place sugar packets on tables to allow customers to flavor their coffee as they wish, isn't that basically the very definition of a nanny state? And if customers are allowed to add as much sugar as they wish, then doesn't that make this insanely stupid law even more pointless?

Doesn't New York City have enough problems right now that need to be addressed long before the subject of sugary drinks is addressed?

I was once at a gun show where I met the members of the committee to elect RON PAUL. They were nuttier than squirrel poo; but this, a limit on the size of drink, is nuttier than the committee to elect RON PAUL.

No sugar packets. You must go to another store for that if, you have a prescription authorized by your insurance company. It's the only way we can be safe.
